The protagonist mobile suit of the
anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and the mobile suit of Setsuna F. Seiei, Gundam Exia is the first Gundam to be displayed to the world at large. Sporting the set of armaments known as the "Seven Swords" System, the Exia is best-suited for melee combat. The Exia is also the first publically-known mobile suit to use beam-based weaponry, an indication of how vastly advanced it is in comparison to other mobile suits fielded at the time. Its name derives from Exusia and/or Exousia, the biblical Greek word for the power of choice and/or authority. [Gundam Wikia]
